When the world was tweeting about Katy Perry during her halftime Superbowl performance, China was going wild onTwitter about a woman called “Fruit Sister”.
But it turns out they’re actually exactly the same person.
It is no longer a secret that the Chinese people are fond of giving funky nicknames to the western celebrities.
It’s because most of the western names, when introduced into China, were translated officially only by their pronunciations. So, they are just a bunch of meaningless characters put together in Chinese. By giving them a nickname, it could be much easier to remember the long foreign names and it’s just a lot fun.
